PORTLAND, Ore. — TransCore’s North American Freight Index climbed 36% last month compared to November 2010. The increase marked the third consecutive month with the highest same-month volume since 2005. Compared to October, spot market freight volume slipped 4.4%, which TransCore officials say is a normal seasonal trend. Spot market freight volume has declined in November since the company established the Index in 1996, with the historical average decline being 15%.

Rate information is also provided by TransCore’s Truckload Rate Index and reflects line-haul rates excluding fuel surcharge. Truckload freight rates increased year-over-year on the spot market in November for all equipment types. When compared to October, rates rose for dry van and refrigerated in November but declined for flatbeds.
